Key Points

  • This law keeps the federal government running by providing money for all major agencies through September 30, 2025. It mostly continues spending at the same levels as the previous year but includes specific updates for the military, veterans' care, and border security.
  • It extends several popular health programs, including funding for community health centers and special diabetes programs. It also keeps "telehealth" rules in place, allowing many people to continue seeing their doctors over video or phone calls through the end of September 2025.
  • The policy includes significant funding for veterans, including over $75 billion for medical services and $20 billion for benefits like readjustment assistance. It also provides $8 billion in extra funding for military operations and deterrence in Europe and the Middle East.
  • To address public safety, the bill extends the temporary legal classification of fentanyl-related substances, making them easier for law enforcement to track. It also continues programs that protect federal buildings from drones and strengthens national cybersecurity efforts.
  • The bill allocates $22.5 billion to the FEMA Disaster Relief Fund to help communities recover from major disasters. It also provides $406 million for small business disaster loans to help local economies bounce back after emergencies.
